How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Whitchurch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common problems we fix in Whitchurch
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Whitchurch
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Whitchurch Combined School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Other services in Whitchurch
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Whitchurch, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
